Remember that vacation I mentioned taking around Thanksgiving? It was awesome, but then we came home and being just a few weeks from Christmas and New Years, needless to say things got a little chaotic so I did an absolutely horrible time about sharing about the actual trip. For that I apologize, but it does mean that I have some fun stuff coming up now that the holidays have passed and maybe it’ll give you some ideas and answer questions as you’re getting trips planned for the upcoming year. One of my favorite parts of our trip to Florida was actually our last evening before heading back home to the (much colder) Pacific Northwest. We were able to enjoy dinner and a show at Medieval Times in Orlando.

For those of you that have never been to a function of this type, you need to do it at least once. I had seen advertisements here and there in the past, but it was never the right time, but when this opportunity came up and it coincided perfectly with our vacation plans, I knew we had to do it. I checked out the Medieval Times website and did my research, but of course you never really know what to expect. I’m going to be honest, as cool as it looked, in the back of my head I was little worried that it would be a little cheesy. I say without hesitation that was not the case at all, we were entertained, we were stuffed, and we felt very involved in the show.

Being a horse lover, I was also very impressed as I learned about the breeding, training, and behind the scenes care of the animals in the show, which you can learn more about here if you’d like. It was easy to see that everyone, actors and guests alike, were having a great time. The audience interaction was fabulous and really made you feel like you were part of the show and not simply watching from a distance. The best part is you don’t have to be in Orlando to attend, Medieval Times has shows all over the US! You can find out if there’s one near you by checking here.
